Police have charged a couple with endangering their three young children, including a 5-month-old girl found dead when they ran out of gas driving her to a hospital.

Ambridge police said the home where 27-year-old Tariq Taylor and 21-year-old Katreona Mathews were staying was not fit for their kids.

"There was just nothing there to care for the children," said Lt. Brian Jameson with Ambridge Police. "No food, no bottles, no formula, no diapers, no wipes. And there was drug paraphernalia around everywhere."

That paraphernalia includes hypodermic needles, drug stamp bags, and a cooking spoon, police said. Taylor and Mathews have not been charged for the death of their baby, Kourteny Taylor.

Autopsy results are pending, and police say more charges could be filed depending on how the child died.

Police say the couple told investigators the child wasn't breathing so they tried to get to the hospital. But Ambridge police believe the child had been dead for about eight hours before that happened.

Taylor was already jailed on an unrelated warrant before being charged for endangering the children. Mathews was captured Wednesday afternoon.

Authorities said the car the couple first tried to drive to the hospital had been reported stolen from Pittsburgh, and there was a sawed-off shotgun in the trunk.

Mathews and Taylor are scheduled for preliminary hearings in front of a judge on October 9th.
